A small snapshot of my 'research' collection.
Reading is one of my favourite things to do, so I'm very lucky I get to do a job that involves so much reading and researching to bring so many gorgeous stories to life 💜

Some of my favourite fairytales are Rumplestiltskin, The Snow Queen, the 3 Billy Goats, Momotaro, and any of the Anansi stories!

What are some of your favourites??

Our Story

AVP Theatre Productions and Workshops is a new Princes Trust supported business being run by an experienced actor and director. I use drama and performance workshops to encourage children and young people to engage with, participate in and learn from the arts. It’s not necessarily about finding the next generation of creatives, but aims instead to increase the children’s confidence and social skills. The workshops will allow them to discover, create and learn all on their own terms in a safe and fun environment.

We also offer storytelling sessions and performances using our family of puppets and our performance experience.
